enough of this crap.
howard dean is right: we have to get on with it and nominate a candidate already. neither clinton nor obama can reach the magic number of pledged delegates before the convention, and nobody benefits from more of what we saw wednesday night except the GOP. superdelegates, it’s time to pick your pony.
